Software Development Company And An Entertainment Provider
Of all international companies, Microsoft has to be one of the largest. Microsoft is a mix between a Software Development company and an
Entertainment Provider. With millions of PC's around the world running Microsoft's Windows, it is easy to see their influence. Not only that, but their
other products such as Xbox and Microsoft Office used across the world. Almost every company uses some aspect of Microsoft office, and any gamer
owns or has used an Xbox console in their life. Microsoft employed over 100, 000 people since 2014, and has made a net profit of roughly 5.3 billion
United States Dollars. Overall, Microsoft has snaked itself into almost ever partition of our lives, both at the office and at home. Microsoft started off

While such a task is momentous, companies like Microsoft that have the manpower and infrastructure for creating such a family.
Microsoft's Vision statement is much less adventurous but significantly vaguer. "At our core, Microsoft is the productivity and Platform Company for
the mobile–first and cloud–first world. We will reinvent productivity to empower every person and every organization on the planet to do more and
achieve more." Again, Microsoft identifies as a mobile–first company. Perhaps this is a unnoticed inkling of a more peripatetic family of devices,
devices that prefer, and take advantage of, a life with noticeably more transit. They also seek to prioritize productivity, whereas such a goal is very hard
to attain as a single entity. However, the steps to enhance and put first productivity are much more tangible and return a much faster investment, so to
speak.
Microsoft has also developed several goals for their company. However, the main extent of them can be summed up in their first goal. "Encourage the
efficient use of resources and to acquire accountability for stewardship of these resources" Once again, the company is attempting to maximize
resources and prioritize productivity. In addition, they wish to obtain and maintain control of these aspects. But, who inside Microsoft creates and
certifies these Statements and Goals?

Software Engineering : Microsoft's Explorer Program
In the field of Software Engineering, students have a plethora of internships available to them. Despite having so many choices available to them,
students must narrow their options to internships that will benefit them the most. Two particular Software Engineering internships that stand out
among the others are Animusoft's Software Engineering internship and Microsoft's Explorer program. Based out of Miami, Florida, Animusoft promises
students the chance to work on exciting team projects while learning about software engineering in a professional setting (Animusoft LLC). Microsoft's
Explorer program, on the other hand, is based out of Redmond, Washington and offers students the opportunity to gain experience in software

However, Microsoft's approach differs in that students work on their project with a group of their peers rather than employees like in Animusoft's
internship. This makes the internship serve as an enjoyable learning experience for students. Moreover, Microsoft strongly encourages students to be
deeply involved in their project, as a result, students are assigned to a group by a group coordinator. Animusoft, however, assigns students their projects
and expects them to work with Animusoft's junior and senior developers. Clearly, Microsoft wants to make students feel comfortable and not
overwhelm with work that they may not be ready for. Animusoft, on the other hand, aims to treat students as though they are experienced employees.
While this not necessarily detrimental to students' future success, it does show that Microsoft is a safer option for students who may not be
experienced in software development. When it comes to time commitment, these internships differ in how many hours students must dedicate to their
project. Specifically, Animusoft expects students to work on these projects for a minimum of 20 hours per week. In addition to this, students must be
willing to contribute to their project at home and in their free time. Although, Animusoft only offers a part–time position. Therefore, students must keep
in mind that they spend under 40 hours per week working on their project. While

Where Tech Savvyness Ends And Where Being A Geek Begins
As we move further and further into a more technological age, lines begin to blur between where tech savvyness ends and where being a Geek
begins. I have been working with computers since I was 8 years old. I remember the good old days where I would sit there with my dad watching
him play Zork for hours on end. In fact that game is one of the reasons I started writing. This was in the mid to late 80 's and the machines had no
hard drives and ran completely off of 5 & 1/4 inch floppy disk 's. This was all fun and games, but I didn 't learn much from the experience. I did
however learn to maneuver through the DOS operating system as well as how to execute programs. My real experience didn 't start till around June
of 1992. I live in the San Bernardino California area. If you know any history of the area, in June 1992 there was a massive 7.3 earthquake that
shook San Bernardino quite harshly. Shopping malls all around the area had the roofs cave in. This was a great tragedy but for us a great learning
experience. Because of the earthquake the malls were forced to send all of their computer equipment to the land–fills for insurance purposes, wither
they were damaged or not. This is where my real experience started. My father brought home three PC 's that looked more like junk than computers.
With a bit of elbow grease we were able to salvage parts from one of the PC 's and get the other two working. The obviously more powerful PC my dad

The Threat Of Criminal Activity
Today, most of society depends upon computers to produce, store, retrieve, manage information and surf the Internet. Technology is an integral piece of
society and is embedded in every part of the daily workings of human existence. In the United States, there are approximately 239,893,600 Internet
users (Internet World Stats [IWS], 2010) and globally there are 2,095,006,005 (IWS, 2011). This more than quadruples the amount of crimes that are
committed online. As people continue to use computers and the Internet globally, the threat of criminal activity will continue to increase. Society is
concerned about keeping their personal information confidential and eluding the traps that are in cyberspace. Due to the fact that society is at risk, law
enforcement agencies are in somewhat of a quandary trying to keep one step ahead of the phenomenon of cybercrime. The government is not asleep to
what cyber security related risks are plaguing the country. They have experienced breaches in security just like the average user and are reviewing the
present policy and procedures so they can implement sticker penalties.
Nigerian scams, identity theft and other crimes committed online are cybercrimes. It's a crime committed via computer or crime committed in
cyberspace. It is one of the most menacing and profitable of crimes. These types of crime are committed by novices and professionals alike. No one is

It provides the Army Human Resource Community with a reliable mechanism for performing personnel actions and strength accountability. The
System consolidates 43 Personnel Information Systems in one. This system provides visibility of the location, status, and skills of Soldiers in the
United States Army. The primary users of this system are Human Resource Soldiers, Commanders, and First Sergeants. The primary features and

Some of these input types are pretty common and need no description however one field that is not so common is the list to list transfer. The list to

rather just a few things off of that list. With a user interface like this, it makes this system and easy system to use and learn whether the user is new to
the system or experienced. One of the biggest functions that eMILPO has is Personnel Services. This provides functions that allow the user to update
and maintain a Soldiers personal, emergency information, family, education, awards and other miscellaneous data. This includes updating Soldiers Life
Insurance information and records of emergency data which contain a Soldiers next of kin and their emergency contacts for if something were to
happen to a Soldier. This function also allows the user to update a Soldiers educational information for both military and civilian education. The
personal data that the user can update includes the Address, Name Change, Phone Number, Martial Status, SSN Corrections and other minor

The wider range of devices has made it easily accessible to access the internet. With more devices having the ability to access the internet, web
browser companies were making it their target to make sure that their browser was the one being used. They would pay other technology
companies to put their web browser on their devices. For example, Xbox 360 uses Bing as their main web browser and iPhone uses safari as their main
browser. One of the main uses that people around the world use web browsers is to go on social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter,
Myspace, etc. Social networking sites make it easy for people to be able to see what their friends and family have going on in their lives and it also
makes it easy for them to keep in touch with loved ones.
With cell phones and electronics becoming even more popular, there are more people using social media networks. According to the article, "We
Spent 230,060 Years on Social Media in One Month" written by Helen A.S. Popkin on NBC News, it states, "Facebook indeed, several times over,
is the most popular social network in the U.S., with 152.2 million visitors on personal computers, 78.4 million users via mobile apps, and 74.3

Bill Gates and Microsoft "Microsoft was founded based on my vision of a personal computer on every desk and in every home, all running Microsoft

This dream came to haunt him 12 years later when he was caught. Microsoft was charged with using its power to eliminate its competitor in the
Web–browser market in the mid–90s (Stevenson). Bill Gates' dreams and passions lead him to try to monopolize the computer industry using

Because of this and Microsoft not allowing the installation of other web browser the rivals of Microsoft said that they were forcing their customers to
use Internet Explorer ("Bill Gates"). In the mid–90s, Microsoft was selling millions of copes each months and Gates' fortune had once again ballooned
on the strength of other developers' ideas (Stevenson).
By the 1990s, Microsoft came under heavy heat from the government and other companies. The Federal Trade Commission began to investigate
Microsoft for antitrust violations and there were also companies that were in the same business field as Microsoft filed a lawsuit against Microsoft
saying that they violated the antitrust laws (Reynolds). This was before Window 3.0 exists and the internet was an obscure academic curiosity. "The
software market is changing faster than the Clinton Administration can regulate it" (Reynolds). This quote means that during this time the technology
were advancing so fast that even the government cannot keep track of what companies. Even though there were nearly ten times as many subscribers
using America Online than Microsoft Network for internet service, America Online was still scared of Microsoft Network (Reynolds). Microsoft was
so big that even other big companies were scared of them.

Definition of Citizen Essay
Definition of Citizen
The context in which words are used may change in everyday conversation, but ultimately the foundation of the definition remains constant. The
number one definition generally changes due to advancement in society. Consider the word "citizen." The meaning of the word citizen has changed
since 1913, but the definition that is used today was also used back then.
There are some commonalities between The Webster Dictionary, published in 1913 and TheOxford English Dictionary, as well as, The American
Heritage College Dictionary. Each of the dictionaries all state that a citizen is an inhabitant of a city or a particular place and a person that has voting
rights. In these cases the definition of the word has not ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Under this definition, African Americans and women were not included. African Americans were not included until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Women were included in 1918. Therefore a citizen was, for the most part, a white male. Since the Civil Rights Movement and Women's Suffrage the
definition has changed significantly. In the two more recent dictionaries the number one definitions have nothing to do with freedom or voting rights. It
is the secondary definitions that use voting as a qualification of a citizen.
All of these definitions noted above work but then the question arises, are people under eighteen years of age, who cannot vote, considered citizens?
People under eighteen fall into the category of being inhabitants of a city, town, state, or nation. In the definitions of The Oxford English Dictionary
and The American Heritage College Dictionary they do not say one must be able to vote: they simply say especially one who can vote. A person
under eighteen is considered to be a citizen because the potential to vote is there. It is because of this potential that these people are protected under the
laws and considered citizens.
The meaning of the word citizen has changed since 1913. Although the primary definition of the word appears to have remained

Microsoft Corporation was founded by William H. Gates III also known as Bill Gates and Paul G. Allen in 1975. Since their inception they have been
credited for developing various operating systems to coordinate with the personal computer (PC). "Microsoft possesses a dominant, persistent, and
increasing share of the world– wide market for Intel–compatible PC operating systems. Every year for the last decade, Microsoft 's share of the market
for Intel–compatible PC operating systems has stood above ninety percent. For the last couple of years the figure has been at least ninety–five percent,

"("The Findings of Fact in the United States Microsoft antitrust case established that "One of the ways Microsoft combats piracy is by advising OEMs
that they will be charged a higher price for Windows unless they drastically limit the number of PCs that they sell without an operating system
pre–installed. In 1998, all major OEMs agreed to this restriction." This has been called the "Windows tax" or "Microsoft tax") (Criticisms to
Microsoft)." Another of Microsoft's criticisms was stemmed from its deciding to market its software separate of the hardware it ran on by envoking a
copyright to the software and licensing it in terms similar to music (Criticisms to Microsoft).
Since investigations on Microsoft began the corporation realized it had a reputation to uphold as well as dispute the legal issues of antitrust violations.
Microsoft's main complaints of violation came from its competitors as being monopolistic. A monopoly "exists when a specific individual or enterprise
has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it

Introduction / Charges against Microsoft
On July 15, 1994, the United States sued Microsoft for unlawfully maintaining its monopoly in the market for PC operating system software. The
lawsuit alleged that Microsoft engaged in anti–competitive marketing practices directed at PC manufacturers that distributed Microsoft operating system
software preinstalled on its PCs. Microsoft began to levy fines against original equipment manufacturing (OEM) companies who distributed or
promoted operating systems other than Microsoft. On August 21, 1995, Microsoft "consented" to a "Final Judgement" against them.
As part of the "Final Judgement", Microsoft was prohibited from entering into agreements allowing them to fine OEM's for using ... Show more content

The consent decree also prohibited Microsoft from requiring OEMs to license any other product as a condition of their Windows licenses. The
government continued its investigation into Microsoft, primarily at the urging of Microsoft's competitors who felt that Microsoft was ignoring the
conditions of the consent decree.
The war between Microsoft and the Department of Justice actually began with the rollout of Windows 95. In an attempt to gain a greater market share
of the Internet browser arena, Microsoft began packaging Internet Explorer as part of their Windows operating system. Microsoft required their original
equipment manufacturing (OEM) companies to install Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Networking software on every personal computer
they sold along with icons for each application prominently displayed on the user's desktop.
Netscape and Sun Microsystems pressured the Department of Justice for action. Other competitor's felt Microsoft used "predatory and anti–competitive
conduct" to impede other platform threats, thereby further entrenching its operating system monopoly. The Department of Justice continued its
investigations and actively pursued investigations into the alleged monopolistic activities of Microsoft. During the course of the investigation,
Microsoft and the Department of Justice continued to negotiate a new consent decree. After eighteen unsuccessful drafts, the Department of Justice, in

JS Browser BOM Introduction
Window and Browser
What is a browser? When you open a browser what do you see? The browser has many parts such as menus, status bar, page itself to name a few.
Collectively, these parts are called Browser Object Model. These different objects can be accessed by JavaScript.
Window is the browser. There are other objects under window. These objects allow you to access all HTML objects on the page, redirect the user to
another page, get browser window size to name a few.
BOM (Browser Object Model)
BOM stands for Browser Object Model. As the name suggests, it is used to communicate with the browser. BOM does not have any set specific
standards therefore there is no standard for implementation. The browser vendors are free to implement BOM any way they want.
The browser views the window as a collection of objects. For example, when a browser encounters a document, it creates a collection of objects that
define that object and detail how it should be displayed. As we have already learnt, this object is called Document Object Model (DOM). Similarly there
are other objects that the browser makes use of. These are collectively called Browser Object Model (BOM).
BOM is a group of objects that allow control of the browser.
The window object is the browser. The other objects defined under windows are:
document
screen
history

The government's role is to prevent harmful monopoly. A harmful monopoly arises when a company starts abusing its power as a monopoly. A
harmful monopoly restricts output of the market creating greater demand and thus charging higher prices. A harmful monopoly also does not
innovate or change since there is no matching competition. By charging higher prices and having power over key resources a monopoly could
restrict entry of other potential competitors. Microsoft does not violate any of these criterion for a monopoly. It has created competition and it does
not charge ridiculously on its major software like Windows. The charges on the software reflects not the cost of making copies of the software but
the high salaries of programmers, and cost of packaging, printing costly manuals and providing other support and services. Would you like to have
10 different operating systems each with different software and memory formats. So that we have to use 10 different floppy disks to work, school, at

Netscape has 4 major competitors: Spry Mosaic, Spyglass Mosaic, Microsoft
Internet Explorer, and Sun's HotJava. However, Netscape dominates its market with an approximate 80% market share. It is the current industry
standard for
WWW browsing software, due to its support of new HTML features such as frames,
JavaScript, and plug–ins.
Spry Mosaic is a piece of WWW Browser software designed by CompuServe's
Spry division. It poses no threat to Netscape because of its inability to process e–mail and Usenet news.
Spyglass Mosaic is a WWW browser developed by part of the team that worked on the original web browser (NCSA Mosaic). It is a major competitor
because of its slightly superior user interface as well as its alliance with
Microsoft.
Microsoft Internet Explorer is a browser that was originally developed for use with the Microsoft Network. It is comparable to Netscape in every
aspect but one: There is NO user support.
HotJava is a browser designed by Sun Microsystems. However, it is not technically a competitive product, as it is mostly used to run Java applets

Microsoft Corporation : The First Computer Programming...
Microsoft Corporation got its start under Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1975. Since that time, it has grown exponentially and is a leader in the area of
computer hardware, software and electronics. Microsoft offers, among other things, personal computers, game consoles, electronics and software. It is
most well–known for its Microsoft Windows operating systems, the Microsoft Office suite, Xbox, and the Internet Explorer web browser. Today,
Microsoft is one of the largest companies offering these particular types of services and is known all over the world. Microsoft Corporation's
mission is to "empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more" (Microsoft Corporation, 2016). I think it is safe to say
that they accomplish this mission on a daily basis and that they will continue to do so for years to come. Microsoft Corporation began in 1975 when
Bill Gates and Paul Allen developed the first computer programming language. Shortly thereafter, they formed the Microsoft Corporation and,
eventually, were contacted by IBM to develop the operating system for their first personal computer which they named MS–DOS. Within a few years of
this accomplishment, Microsoft had developed the Windows operating system for which they are well known and the suite of office products known
as Microsoft Office. (Zachary). Today, Microsoft is guided by its board of directors, on which Bill Gates serves as the Founder and Technology

Competition Is The Cornerstone Of Capitalism
Competition is the cornerstone of capitalism. It creates rivalry among businesses to produce quality goods and services at competitive prices. This
gives consumers a better sense of variety when making purchases. Competition in its purest form creates small buyers and sellers none of which are too
large to negatively affect the market as a whole. Competitive markets can be dated back to ancient times when merchants competed in foreign trade. In
the 19th century economists considered competition as a natural phenomenon in which growth of an operation was fueled by supply and demand in a
free market economy. They also believed that supply and demand worked better in a laissez faire type environment. This was possible through freedom
to trade, transparent knowledge of market conditions, no government restrictions on trade, and access to buyers and sellers. These conditions prevented
any buyer or seller to significantly affect the market price of a single commodity. After the mid 1800's, limitations to compete became evident during
the industrial revolution. Corporations achieved manufacturing capabilities that would surpass their competitors and would allow them to fix prices
and squeeze out their rivals. Eventually some businesses became so large that they controlled enough market share to deceptively manipulate prices in
their industry. This activity created an atmosphere for President Theodore Roosevelt to launch his famoustrust busting campaigns. The era of antitrust

Differences Between Google Chrome and Internet Explorer...
Although Google Chrome and Internet Explorer are both web browsers that serve the same fundamental purpose, there are certain key differences that
attract users to one or the other.
The first and most obvious difference is the design of the actual browser. Google Chrome aims to be more of a lightweight browser, so it features a
limited set of options under its preferences, a larger browser window, and the omnibar, which combines both the search functions and the web functions
into one. This allows Google Chrome to be very simplistic and efficient in browsing. Internet explorer on the other hand does not have an omnibar, nor
are the preferences as straightforward as Google Chrome, but it does allow the user to modify and tweak many more ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
Another major difference is the development of the actual browser. Internet Explorer is developed by Microsoft using a proprietary code, and as a
result, any updates such as bug fixes, new features, or small modifications that are made on IE have to be released by Microsoft. Google Chrome
on the other hand is a faster, open source browser that uses the open source WebKit code, and anyone who is able to write code will be able to
submit a modified build to a forum (www.chromium.org) that Google monitors. Any new features that are built into the browser can then be selected
by Google, and placed into the newest version of Google Chrome. To many people this makes Google Chrome a very desirable option because any
bugs and additional features can be fixed or added on almost immediately.
Although both browsers are constantly updated to deal with new security threats that are found on the internet the security of both browsers still
varies. Two of the standards used to measure the security of the browsers include the Acid 3 test, and the ability of hackers to hack into computers
using the respective browser. Acid 3 measures the ability of the browser to render and utilise the information presented on the web, so a rule of
thumb, a higher Acid 3 score typically suggests a better built browser that is able to handle security threats presented online. As of August 18, 2010,

Privacy Policies And The Effectiveness Of Do Not Track
Privacy Policies and the Effectiveness of "Do Not Track"
Introduction
The Privacy Act of 1974 was established for the fair use, collection, and dissemination of personally identified information (PII). These records are
systematically maintained by several agencies in the United Stated about its citizens, and residents. The disclosure of this information is prohibited but
can be accessed either by the consent of the individual or another agency with a warrant. With the internet now being the free–flow mainstream of
information, as well as the common place for transfer of personal data, for the use of different servers, new laws and legislations must be implemented
to regulate the control of such sensitive information. There are a number of countries that have collaborated on this issue (such as France, United
Kingdom, Switzerland, and Germany). The European Union (EU) has uniformly mandated several provisions on the collection and use of PII. While
Switzerland does not have an affiliation with the EU, it remains compelled to sponsor, and aggregate legislation that complies with the EU standard. In
the US, there is currently no federal law that officially mandates and regulates digital information. US states independently debated on this issue
regarding whether digital information is privy to the protections of privacy standards. Users that traverse the internet develop digital footprints, which
are an established form of obtaining digital information in a unique pattern.

two cases, it managed to provide products that were "good enough" and were easier to be used as default tools on its dominating Windows operating

Microsoft has also established signification presence in sectors such as web based services, server software, enterprise database management
system, software development tools and game console. Since 2003, Microsoft has been trying to establish itself as a major player in internet search

Third, and largely as a result of that barrier, Microsoft's customers lack a commercially viable alternative to Windows, the operating system of all PC's.

The company's decision not to consider the prices of other vendors' Intel–compatible PC operating systems when setting the price of Windows 98, for
example, is probative of monopoly power. One would expect a firm in a competitive market to pay much closer attention to the prices charged by
other firms in the market. Another indication of monopoly power is the fact that Microsoft raised the price that it charged Original Equipment
Manufacturer's (OEM's) for Windows 95, with trivial exceptions, to the same level as the price it charged for Windows 98 just prior to releasing the
newer product. In a competitive market, one would expect the price of an older operating system to stay the same or decrease upon the release of a
newer, more attractive version. Microsoft, however, was only concerned with inducing OEMs to ship Windows 98 in favor of the older version. It is
unlikely that Microsoft would have imposed this price increase if it were genuinely concerned that OEMs might shift their business to another vendor
of operating systems or hasten the development of viable alternatives to Windows.
Finally, it is indicative of monopoly power that Microsoft felt that it had substantial discretion in setting the price of its Windows 98 upgrade product

Bill Gates Dropping Out Of Harvard
The world's attitude towards the personal computer may have been completely different if not for one event: Bill Gates dropping out of Harvard.
Gates came from a wealthy family in Seattle, Washington, but even at a young age, he knew how to take risks in order to follow his passion for
computers. The developments that Microsoft has made, ranging from the earliest operating systems such as MS–DOS to the Microsoft Office Suite,
have impacted the way that the personal computer operates. Microsoft products are used around the world, by various types of customers, ranging from
CEOs to elementary school teachers and everyone in between. Both Gates and Microsoft have had a significant hand in establishing the way the world

Keira Stevenson summarized Gates' rising love for technology in her article. Even in elementary school, Gates could often be found cutting class to

In addition, it is very rare to have a truly pure monopoly. Anatural monopoly, on the other hand, implies that advantages of large–scale production
make it possible for a single firm to produce the entire output of the market at lower average cost than a number of firms, each producing a smaller

When considering the two theories and their relationship to the software industry, it seems almost inconceivable that there might be only one supplier
of any product, because there are so many software companies. However, if the market is considered for a particular software product, such as an
operating system, the idea seems much more plausible. Furthermore, there are several factors in the software industry, and the operating system
segment in particular, that lead to consolidation (Monopolies and the Software Industry).
Barriers to Entry The barriers to entry for software companies are generally quite low. There is no manufacturing equipment needed, and therefore low
capital investment is required. Nonetheless, development of an operating system is not such an effortless undertaking. It requires hundreds of people,

The Monopoly And Monopoly Industry
Has the economy ever thought about direct impact from monopoly and oligopoly industries? The structure of a monopoly based industry exemplifies
one seller in the entire market. On the other hand, the concept of an oligopoly industry illustrates few sellers that have the potential of making a direct

Despite having so many choices available to them, students must narrow their options to internships that will benefit them the most. Two particular Software Engineering internships that stand out among the others are Animusoft's Software Engineering internship and Microsoft's Explorer program. Based out of Miami, Florida, Animusoft promises students the chance to work on exciting team projects while learning about software engineering in a professional setting (Animusoft LLC).

This makes the internship serve as an enjoyable learning experience for students. Moreover, Microsoft strongly encourages students to be deeply involved in their project, as a result, students are assigned to a group by a group coordinator. Animusoft, however, assigns students their projects and expects them to work with Animusoft's junior and senior developers. Clearly, Microsoft wants to make students feel comfortable and not overwhelm with work that they may not be ready for. Animusoft, on the other hand, aims to treat students as though they are experienced employees. While this not necessarily detrimental to students' future success, it does show that Microsoft is a safer option for students who may not be experienced in software development. When it comes to time commitment, these internships differ in how many hours students must dedicate to their project. Specifically, Animusoft expects students to work on these projects for a minimum of 20 hours per week. In addition to this, students must be willing to contribute to their project at home and in their free time. Although, Animusoft only offers a part–time position. Therefore, students must keep in mind that they spend under 40 hours per week working on their project. While ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Where Tech Savvyness Ends And Where Being A Geek Begins As we move further and further into a more technological age, lines begin to blur between where tech savvyness ends and where being a Geek begins.

In fact that game is one of the reasons I started writing. This was in the mid to late 80 's and the machines had no hard drives and ran completely off of 5 & 1/4 inch floppy disk 's. This was all fun and games, but I didn 't learn much from the experience. I did however learn to maneuver through the DOS operating system as well as how to execute programs. My real experience didn 't start till around June of 1992. I live in the San Bernardino California area. If you know any history of the area, in June 1992 there was a massive 7.3 earthquake that shook San Bernardino quite harshly. Shopping malls all around the area had the roofs cave in. This was a great tragedy but for us a great learning experience. Because of the earthquake the malls were forced to send all of their computer equipment to the land–fills for insurance purposes, wither they were damaged or not. This is where my real experience started. My father brought home three PC 's that looked more like junk than computers.

The number one definition generally changes due to advancement in society. Consider the word "citizen." The meaning of the word citizen has changed since 1913, but the definition that is used today was also used back then. There are some commonalities between The Webster Dictionary, published in 1913 and TheOxford English Dictionary, as well as, The American Heritage College Dictionary.

Women were included in 1918. Therefore a citizen was, for the most part, a white male. Since the Civil Rights Movement and Women's Suffrage the definition has changed significantly. In the two more recent dictionaries the number one definitions have nothing to do with freedom or voting rights. It is the secondary definitions that use voting as a qualification of a citizen. All of these definitions noted above work but then the question arises, are people under eighteen years of age, who cannot vote, considered citizens? People under eighteen fall into the category of being inhabitants of a city, town, state, or nation. In the definitions of The Oxford English Dictionary and The American Heritage College Dictionary they do not say one must be able to vote: they simply say especially one who can vote. A person under eighteen is considered to be a citizen because the potential to vote is there. It is because of this potential that these people are protected under the laws and considered citizens.

Every year for the last decade, Microsoft 's share of the market for Intel–compatible PC operating systems has stood above ninety percent.

Microsoft required their original equipment manufacturing (OEM) companies to install Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Networking software on every personal computer they sold along with icons for each application prominently displayed on the user's desktop.

Window is the browser. There are other objects under window. These objects allow you to access all HTML objects on the page, redirect the user to another page, get browser window size to name a few. BOM (Browser Object Model) BOM stands for Browser Object Model. As the name suggests, it is used to communicate with the browser. BOM does not have any set specific standards therefore there is no standard for implementation. The browser vendors are free to implement BOM any way they want. The browser views the window as a collection of objects. For example, when a browser encounters a document, it creates a collection of objects that define that object and detail how it should be displayed.

Netscape would have been in power if it had thought of more upgrades and improved quality. The government's role is to prevent harmful monopoly. A harmful monopoly arises when a company starts abusing its power as a monopoly. A harmful monopoly restricts output of the market creating greater demand and thus charging higher prices. A harmful monopoly also does not innovate or change since there is no matching competition. By charging higher prices and having power over key resources a monopoly could restrict entry of other potential competitors. Microsoft does not violate any of these criterion for a monopoly.

Today, Microsoft is one of the largest companies offering these particular types of services and is known all over the world.

  • 25. Competition Is The Cornerstone Of Capitalism Competition is the cornerstone of capitalism. It creates rivalry among businesses to produce quality goods and services at competitive prices. This gives consumers a better sense of variety when making purchases. Competition in its purest form creates small buyers and sellers none of which are too large to negatively affect the market as a whole. Competitive markets can be dated back to ancient times when merchants competed in foreign trade. In the 19th century economists considered competition as a natural phenomenon in which growth of an operation was fueled by supply and demand in a free market economy. They also believed that supply and demand worked better in a laissez faire type environment. This was possible through freedom to trade, transparent knowledge of market conditions, no government restrictions on trade, and access to buyers and sellers. These conditions prevented any buyer or seller to significantly affect the market price of a single commodity. After the mid 1800's, limitations to compete became evident during the industrial revolution. Corporations achieved manufacturing capabilities that would surpass their competitors and would allow them to fix prices and squeeze out their rivals. Eventually some businesses became so large that they controlled enough market share to deceptively manipulate prices in their industry. This activity created an atmosphere for President Theodore Roosevelt to launch his famoustrust busting campaigns. The era of antitrust ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Although Google Chrome and Internet Explorer are both web browsers that serve the same fundamental purpose, there are certain key differences that attract users to one or the other. The first and most obvious difference is the design of the actual browser. Google Chrome aims to be more of a lightweight browser, so it features a limited set of options under its preferences, a larger browser window, and the omnibar, which combines both the search functions and the web functions into one. This allows Google Chrome to be very simplistic and efficient in browsing. Internet explorer on the other hand does not have an omnibar, nor are the preferences as straightforward as Google Chrome, but it does allow the user to modify and tweak many more ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Another major difference is the development of the actual browser. Internet Explorer is developed by Microsoft using a proprietary code, and as a result, any updates such as bug fixes, new features, or small modifications that are made on IE have to be released by Microsoft. Google Chrome on the other hand is a faster, open source browser that uses the open source WebKit code, and anyone who is able to write code will be able to submit a modified build to a forum (www.chromium.org) that Google monitors. Any new features that are built into the browser can then be selected by Google, and placed into the newest version of Google Chrome. To many people this makes Google Chrome a very desirable option because any bugs and additional features can be fixed or added on almost immediately. Although both browsers are constantly updated to deal with new security threats that are found on the internet the security of both browsers still varies. Two of the standards used to measure the security of the browsers include the Acid 3 test, and the ability of hackers to hack into computers using the respective browser. Acid 3 measures the ability of the browser to render and utilise the information presented on the web, so a rule of thumb, a higher Acid 3 score typically suggests a better built browser that is able to handle security threats presented online. As of August 18, 2010, the Acid 3 test of the latest stable release of Google Chrome is 100/100, whilst the score of Internet ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 29. Privacy Policies And The Effectiveness Of Do Not Track Privacy Policies and the Effectiveness of "Do Not Track" Introduction The Privacy Act of 1974 was established for the fair use, collection, and dissemination of personally identified information (PII). These records are systematically maintained by several agencies in the United Stated about its citizens, and residents. The disclosure of this information is prohibited but can be accessed either by the consent of the individual or another agency with a warrant. With the internet now being the free–flow mainstream of information, as well as the common place for transfer of personal data, for the use of different servers, new laws and legislations must be implemented to regulate the control of such sensitive information. There are a number of countries that have collaborated on this issue (such as France, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Germany). The European Union (EU) has uniformly mandated several provisions on the collection and use of PII. While Switzerland does not have an affiliation with the EU, it remains compelled to sponsor, and aggregate legislation that complies with the EU standard. In the US, there is currently no federal law that officially mandates and regulates digital information. US states independently debated on this issue regarding whether digital information is privy to the protections of privacy standards.

First, Microsoft's share of the market for Intel–compatible Personal Computer (PC) operating systems is extremely large and stable. Second, Microsoft's dominant market share is protected by a high barrier to entry. Third, and largely as a result of that barrier, Microsoft's customers lack a commercially viable alternative to Windows, the operating system of all PC's. Microsoft enjoys so much power in the market for Intel–compatible PC operating systems that if it wished to exercise this power solely in terms of price, it could charge a price for Windows substantially above that which could be... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The company's decision not to consider the prices of other vendors' Intel–compatible PC operating systems when setting the price of Windows 98, for example, is probative of monopoly power. One would expect a firm in a competitive market to pay much closer attention to the prices charged by other firms in the market. Another indication of monopoly power is the fact that Microsoft raised the price that it charged Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM's) for Windows 95, with trivial exceptions, to the same level as the price it charged for Windows 98 just prior to releasing the newer product. In a competitive market, one would expect the price of an older operating system to stay the same or decrease upon the release of a newer, more attractive version. Microsoft, however, was only concerned with inducing OEMs to ship Windows 98 in favor of the older version. It is unlikely that Microsoft would have imposed this price increase if it were genuinely concerned that OEMs might shift their business to another vendor of operating systems or hasten the development of viable alternatives to Windows. Finally, it is indicative of monopoly power that Microsoft felt that it had substantial discretion in setting the price of its Windows 98 upgrade product (the operating system product it – 2 – sells to existing users of Windows 95).
